  1. 🧠 Lab-grown human brain tissue, called organoids, transplanted into mouse brains can survive, grow, generate a diverse range of human brain cells, and organise into circuits and complex structures, according to US research, which suggests this may be a new way to grow human brain tissue outside of a human. The researchers engineered the mice to be missing almost all of their cerebral cortex (the outermost “rind” of the brain), and then they transplanted brain-like tissue grown from human cells into the mice. The human cells grew, filling the space, and developed into a range of cell types, including one that hasn’t been able to be grown in the lab. The human cells also developed working connections to the mice’s brain and spinal cord. The experiments, which were conducted following rigorous ethical guidelines, could be useful for studying brain development and disorders.

  6. Researchers grew tiny heart-valve models on organoids, giving scientists a new human-like way to study valve disorders. The work could reduce reliance on animal models and support better treatments.
